WhatsApp is working on both significant and little changes, and today’s update is more of a usability improvement. You can now keep track of all your unread messages on your list thanks to a new chat feature that was recently released by the messaging app.
Now you can sort your chats with an "unread" filter for extra control and organization. Never miss another message from papai or the message from your irmã asking why you didn't respond to papai ????

To keep track of what you missed, WhatsApp claims users can now arrange their chats with an “unread” messages filter. The well-known WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo first discovered this functionality more than a month ago. If you’re curious, the screenshot below demonstrates what it will be like.
WhatsApp will now provide an unread filter option when you search for messages or media in your conversation list, allowing you to quickly access chats with unread messages. This will be useful for people whose chat list is very vast and makes it difficult for them to keep track of what’s missing. You can now stop your mother from berating you for forgetting to mention the grocery list during your talk.
Last month, the functionality was exclusively accessible to beta testers; starting today, it will be a stable upgrade for all users worldwide. If you don’t already have the functionality, upgrade to the most recent version of WhatsApp.
Furthermore, WhatsApp is working on making it possible to view status changes immediately from the conversation list. This feature is still under beta testing, but it will likely become available soon. It should be helpful for people who neglect to check their friends’ and family’s status updates.
Many WhatsApp users, however, have berated this function, claiming that it will make the conversation list too crowded. There is therefore a chance that WhatsApp will never make the functionality available as a stable upgrade.
